A song. A Psalm of Asaph. KEEP NOT silence, O God; hold not Your peace or be still, O God. |
2
|
For, behold, Your enemies are in tumult, and those who hate You have raised their heads. [Acts 4:25, 26.] |
3
|
They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult together against Your hidden and precious ones. |
4
|
They have said, Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be in remembrance no more. |
5
|
For they have consulted together with one accord and one heart; against You they make a covenant-- |
6
|
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, |
7
|
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre. |
8
|
Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm to them. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! |
9
|
Do to them as [You did to] the Midianites, as to Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon, [Judg. 4:12-24.] |
10
|
Who perished at Endor, who became like manure for the earth. |
11
|
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes as Zebah and Zalmunna, [Judg. 7:23-25; 8:10-21.] |
12
|
Who say, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God. |
13
|
O my God, make them like whirling dust, like stubble or chaff before the wind! |
14
|
As fire consumes the forest, and as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, |
15
|
So pursue and afflict them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your tornado or hurricane. |
16
|
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek, inquire for, and insistently require Your name, O Lord. |
17
|
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, |
18
|
That they may know that You, Whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth. |
